Copts Under Siege in Cairo
29th November 2008
Last weekend in the suburbs of Cairo, a congregation of Coptic Christians was besieged inside a newly-opened church by thousands of angry Muslims. It seems the Copts had had the temerity to open the church in a converted factory, and, as we all know, Islamic law forbids the establishment of new churches anywhere in Dar al-Islam.
The Muslim mob quickly converted the church into a mosque by praying there, and then went on a rampage against the church and the homes and businesses of Christians.
Bear in mind that the Copts are the original inhabitants of Egypt. How would the world press react if Native Americans opened a sweat lodge in Omaha and were immediately attacked by mobs of screaming Baptists? The question answers itself.
